It is located on 35 km from Lakhimpur-Kheri en-route to Shahjahanpur. It is the temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Gola Gokaran Nath is also called by the name “CHOTTI KASHI” It is the belief of the people that Lord Shiva pleased with the penance (Tapasya) of Rawana (King of Lanka) and offered for a boon.

Rawana requested Lord Shiva to go to Lanka with him and leave Himalaya forever. Lord Shiva agreed to go with a condition that he should not be placed anywhere on the way to Lanka, if he will be placed anywhere, he will be settled at that place. Rawana agreed and started his journey to Lanka with the Lord on his head. When Rawana reached the Gola Gokaran Nath ( Gollihara of that time) he felt the need of urinating ( A call of nature).

Rawana offered some gold coins to a shepherd for placing Lord Shiva on his head till he returns. The shepherd could not bear the load and he placed him on the land. Rawana failed to lift him up by all his efforts. He pressed him on his head with his thumb in full anger. The impression of Rawana’s Thumb is still present on the Shivling.

Cheti-Mela is a great fair held in the month of chatra(April). The importance of Gokarnnath Dham increases during the month of Shrawan. During this period, lakhs of devotees throng the Holy Shiv Temple. The kanwarias first take a dip in the terth sarovar (pond) to purify themselves and then enter into the temple, where the Ganges water is offered to the Jyotirlingam.The other festival that is celebrated here is Bhoot Nath Mela, Maha Shivratri Mela. This is one of the famous Hindu temples in India.
